These are basic notes from tests by Kenneth and Bert so far. Not yet decided if all the below changes can be done. But making a note of them anyway.
Kenneth:
- New posts in HTML template form instead of .plt file
- htaccess rules to make pretty urls
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule articles/(.*)-(.*)\.htm$ /index.php?option=$1&filename=$2
- Topic instead of file numbers as file names
- md5sum encrypted passwords in config.php
- Printer friendly CSS.
- Archive can have year-month collapsible feature like blogspot
- RSS can be shorter - summary instead of the whole post (more ways to control RSS)?
- So my thought is would it be possible to display posts with the rss format without firefox showing this box - for clean print
Bert:
= Category does not work when the category name has multiple words - DONE
= Explain posts vs pages better in the Pritlog website - DONE (? already explains)
- Free and accurate positioning of pictures in posts
- Text flow around pictures
- Better templating system
- Preview before posting
- Easy translation
= Comment title can be made optional - DONE
Prit: I tried doing this, but then the comment listing on the sidebar is not correct because it needs the comment title. So I guess, this can remain mandatory. :(
= Category is case sensitive now. This can be changed. - DONE
= Let the post stay on screen, until it's successfully submitted! - DONE
- Upload link to upload images to the server through an admin interface
- Real time character counter for comments
Prit: I thought the new functionality to upload in NicEdit would help. But it uploads to imageshack server. This may not help.
- Move the Pritlog version update/information to a separate admin page instead of showing it to everyone visiting the blog
- Move the English text from the Pritlog version information to inside the index.php so that translation is easy.
John:
- ability to enable / disable comments -per post- to complement the more general $config_allowComments option. (requiring an extra field on the db to store poster preference)
- an option for the blog owner to prioritize posts that displays always on top (i.e. for general announcements)
- an option for the blog owner to edit / delete comments using his own pass as a master password
- as visitors post comments with their names, it might be nice to allow them to keep their nicks unique (searching the name field at the users db on submit, and require a new name if in use)
- enable collaborators to assist blog ownwer in content generation and site maintenance. This requires a list of special users allowed to post entries (the easiest way might be to create an array of passwords at config.php enabled to publish)
- Post Options w/ Teaser + Full Story
- posibility to add a visitor counter per post
- posibility to add a rating system to highlight most popular articles
nxpnsv:
- When i put "8 jan '09" as post title i get a "8 jan \'09" as title which is not so nice...
krystal:
- Make commenter's name into a link
Prit:
- Admin interface (stats, blocking, change site properties, change password)
= Direct scrolling to the exact comment - DONE
- Better installation with md5sum password creation
= Catch comment users and other fields with just spaces - trim? - DONE
